I saw little bags of chocolate coins today, except now they include chocolate notes too. Granted, notes are usually worth more than coins, but there's just no romance in opening a treasure chest full of twenty dollar notes, is there?
So much gloom on the news lately; the Australian government has all sorts of unsavoury legislation on the go at the moment. So there are huge rallies against the new industrial relations law, as well as new sedition laws, draconian anti-terror laws (our politicians didn't deny Howard like the British ones did Blair), Telstra getting ready to sack 12,000 workers and an Australian facing execution in Singapore soon with the government not doing a damn thing to help him... sometimes it's just too depressing to read the papers. Anyway, despite all our human nonsense, Harriet the tortoise has lived to celebrate her 175th birthday (you'd think after all these years, there must be a better photo of her than that). Hooray for Harriet!
